Puqiakeqi Mulberry Paper Workshops
普恰克其桑皮纸作坊
A village in Moyu County that has preserved the thousand-year-old craft of mulberry bark paper, where you can watch the full process of peeling, boiling pulp, sheet forming, and drying.
Puqiakeqi Town is located in Moyu County. The Uyghur mulberry bark paper-making craft here is a national intangible cultural heritage. Craftspeople soak, boil, and pound mulberry branch bark into pulp, then form sheets using bamboo screens in the river and dry them in the sun. The entire process is handmade. Ancient Khotan mulberry paper was once used for writing documents. The village has an intangible heritage workshop where visitors can observe the process and buy mulberry paper products. Workshop hours are irregular. The town is about 30 km from Hotan City, so it is recommended to hire a car and contact the workshop in advance.
